We both know that it’s not fashionable to love me But you don’t go 'cause truly there’s nobody for you but me We could cruise to the blues Wilshire Boulevard if we choose Or whatever you want to do We make the rules Our honeymoon Our honeymoon Our honeymoon Say you want me too Say you want me too Dark blue Dark blue We both know the history of violence that surrounds you But I’m not scared, there’s nothing to lose now that I've found you And we could cruise to the news Pico Boulevard in your used Little bullet car if we choose Mr. born to lose Our honeymoon Our honeymoon Our honeymoon Say you want me too Say you want me too Dark blue Dark blue There are violets in your eyes There are guns that blaze around you There are roses in between my thighs And a fire that surrounds you It’s no wonder every man in town Had neither fought nor found you Everything you do is elusive To even your honey dew Our honeymoon Our honeymoon Our honeymoon Dreaming away your life Dreaming away your life Dreaming away your life Dreaming away your life Dreaming away your life Dreaming away your life
